thriveni c mysore Poet Couplet

Flying leaves hanging on the trees

She sits green on a shy branch, pretty
Soft red bill, her only vanity.

He comes same, red rump, blue sapphire throat
Their short sheepish tails cannot promote.

Hanging upside down on a tree branch
'whatcha looking at?', their stare has no match.

Vernal Hanging-Parrot swift at flight
Sighting amidst verdant green delight.

Feasting on figs, fruits, blossoms, berries
Less forest makes them hide behind leaves.

Robert Gorelick December 12, 2024 at 12:04 PM Words resonate, for example, I sometimes wish I were that red, red, robin who comes, bob bob bobbin, alone at the first sight of spring. Who could ask for anything more. Loved it, Robert thriveni c mysore December 13, 2024 at 8:27 PM Thank you for your kind visit dear poet. I am so glad you liked it. You speak of red robin! isn't he a gem? red-whiskered Bulbul has made her nest in my garden, her ever-attentive lover calls out at the drop of a hat, do ask me if I was ever jealous of that sweet call! I very much appreciate your words dear poet, thank you very much for the smile. Happy Christmas.
